In the 60's and 70's it would have been, but as you can see from the above posts the Puritan fundamentalists have taken over and will not allow it.
Of course it's folk music. It's a song about the folks that isn't aimed at the charts, isn't about "lurve" and can't be sung by Rappers, Divas, Pretty Boys etc because the media wouldn't allow it.
That's where these songs are stuck,, between the hard place of the folk fundamentalists and the rock of the controlled media.
We aren't supposed to carry on the tradition of singing about our lives by either of them. Both would deny us a platform.
Maybe it's best to not bother and sell-out to a vested interest.
